We consider efficient numerical methods for the partitioned time integration of coupled multiphysics problems. In a partitioned approach different codes for the sub-problems are reused and the coupling is done by a master program which calls interface functions of the segregated codes [1]}, [2]}. These algorithms are currently an active research topic driven by certain multiphysics applications where multiple physical models or multiple simultaneous physical phenomena involve solving coupled systems of partial differential equations (PDEs).
